1. Before you watch, discuss with your partner the following questions:

1) What is appetite?

2) What role does it play in (for) our body?

3) How is it regulated?

4) What is the relation between increased/decreased appetite and body weight?

Watch the video “How to curb your appetite naturally” and say what the ways to avoid overeating are.

Now watch and listen again and mark the statements true (T) or false (F). Correct false statements.

a) To decrease your hunger level you should take a whiff of peppermint before having a meal.
b) Sleeping less than eight hours per night increases the level of the hormone leptin which suppress appetite.
c) It takes about twelve minutes for your brain to “realise” that we are full.
d) According to one study, taking a 15-minute walk helps reduce food cravings.
e) The longer you chew your food, the fewer calories enter your body.

1. Body weight status can be categorized as underweight, healthy weight, overweight, or obese. Body mass index (BMI) is a useful tool that can be used to estimate an individual’s body weight status. BMI is a measure of weight in kilograms (kg) relative to height in meters (m) squared. The terms overweight and obese describe ranges of weight that are greater than what is considered healthy for a given height, while underweight describes a weight that is lower than what is considered healthy for a given height. The percentile indicates the relative position of the child’s BMI among children of the same sex and age.

You are going to read an article which provides information and advice for choosing a balanced diet. The terms “eating pattern”, “calorie balance” and “nutrient-dense foods” are essential to understanding the principles and recommendations presented in the article. Discuss with your partner (or in groups) what the terms mentioned above mean.

Food groups

A food group is a collection of foods that share similar nutritional properties or biological classifications. Nutrition guides typically divide foods into food groups and recommend daily servings of each group for a healthy diet.

Dairy, also called milk products and sometimes categorized with milk alternatives or meat, is typically a smaller category in nutrition guides. Examples of dairy products include milk, yogurt and cheese. Though they are also dairy products, ice cream is typically categorized with sweets and butter is typically classified with fats and oils in nutrition guides.

Fats and oils, sometimes categorized with sweets, is typically a very small category in nutrition guides, if present at all, and is sometimes listed apart from other food groups. Examples include cooking oil, butter, margarine and shortening.

Fruit, sometimes categorized with vegetables, is typically a medium-sized category in nutrition guides, though occasionally a small one, e.g. apples, oranges, bananas, berries and melons.

Grains, also called cereals and sometimes inclusive of potatoes and other starches, is often the largest category in nutrition guides. Examples include wheat, rice, oats, barley, bread and pasta.

Meat, sometimes labeled protein and occasionally inclusive of legumes, eggs, meat analogues and/or dairy, is typically a medium- to smaller-sized category in nutrition guides. Examples include chicken, fish, turkey, pork and beef.

Sweets, also called sugary foods and sometimes categorized with fats and oils, is typically a very small category in nutrition guides, if present at all, and is sometimes listed apart from other food groups. Examples include candy, soft drinks, cake, pie and ice cream.

Vegetables, sometimes categorized with fruit and occasionally inclusive of legumes, is typically a large category second only to grains, or sometimes equal to grains, in nutrition guides. Examples include spinach, carrots, onions, peppers, and broccoli.

Water is treated in very different ways by different food guides. Some exclude the category, others list it separately from other food groups, and yet others make it the center or foundation of the guide. Water is sometimes categorized with tea, fruit juice, vegetable juice and even soup, and is typically recommended in plentiful amounts.
